Big Tree Lodge Methven - Hostel

10/10 Excellent
"It’s basic but does the job. Warm bed, warm lounge, adequate kitchen, close enough to town and the vibes are all good. Could do with little lights by the individual beds so don’t have to have main light on, but not too much of an issue overall. Would stay again for cheap an convenient hostel close to ski field."
